Stones in the Woods is a one-act piece of drama inspired by archival research about Kingston’s nineteenth-century observatory. The Queen’s University observatory briefly called City Park its home in the 1800s before being moved closer to the core of the school.The only character based on archival research is that of Nathan, inspired by Nathan Fellowes Dupuis, who headed the observatory for some years during its operation. This play is an imagined account of his early days in Kingston. The names of the other characters in this play are conceptions of the writer. Thus, this play should not be taken as a direct account of the life of a young Nathan Fellowes Dupuis, but instead a depiction of how we interact with and remember history in Kingston as told through the observatory that once existed in City Park. We advise the audience member to experience Stones in the Woods as a historiographical piece of drama.​
